One solution to this bug would be to pre-install Boot-Repair in the
ISOs: see Bug #806291

Title:
Offer a "reinstall GRUB" option on the installation ISOs
Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
Binary package hint: ubiquity
Some users are using Ubuntu/Kubuntu on multiboot systems along with
some flavour of Windows. One problem with Windows is that when it is
reinstalled, it hijacks the boot process. This forces any linux user
to reinstall GRUB just to be able to use any OS besides Microsoft's.
As this is a major problem which linux users are forced to endure,
they tend to rely on Ubuntu's installation media to try to fix this
problem. The thing is, Ubuntu's installation media lacks a "reinstall
GRUB" option, which then forces ubuntu users to either jump through
hoops to retake their computer or, worse yet, force a reinstallation
from scratch.
It would be nice if Ubuntu/Kubuntu's ISOs all offered a "reinstall
GRUB" option.
